12:03 am
12:04 am
great on our mind. we also urge that you consider a dedicated single governing body to over see these diverse issues to lawsuits and project legal struggles. the purpose was to have no dominant use and to manage what was built there and have a diversity of uses. the urge sea of having a single opportunity to continue is very important. i want to conclude by just in endorsing john overruling's comments and to have a sense and openness that the garden is created and
12:05 am
destroyed and we must have your help to see what we can do to change that. thank you. >> richard bolingbrook. >> madam commissioners. i'm a working artist. i wanted to acknowledge the artist. if you can stand up please. we have a newspaper of the star board members here and working artist from the shipyard. i wanted to speak in support of the recommendations of the ocii staff regarding the disposition of the new shipyard artist to the replacement building and i want to thank the oci staff who have been wonderful to work with and very helpful with this process. this is a specific use building and it has been a long
12:06 am
time in development. shipyard artist and star -- have been integral in developing here. this building is going to be an essential part of the new art center out of the shipyard. i wanted to just direct the commission's attention. i'm not going to be providing but to the general plan and specifically goal 3 to support individual artist and organizations and an art environment and it specifically states that it needs to enhance the artist to create san francisco is the producing artist. it goes on to say that it has continued development in
12:07 am
arts organization spaces. and assist artist and arts organizations in attaining ownership or long-term control of the arts spaces. this is particularly important because ocie is recommending that star would be maintaining control of these spaces. the star board has been stepping out to the plate this year in developing itself to be ready for this possibility. we have 8 new artist members who are now part of the board and we are looking forward to the possibility of being involved in managing the studio buildings. a well managed studio building is going to be vital to be the nucleus of a possible art district including a building and shipyard. finally i wanted to invite the commission to our upcoming studios on the 9th and
12:08 am
10th. we would love to see you out this. >> my name is richard peterson. i'm on the star and part of the real estate committee. quickly i want to say how wonderful it's become to work with you. i'm going on record to let you know. >> ace washington? well, this is workshop for the pmp and i'm not being sarcastic. but you can add an i to that. pimp. it has pimped our community. we don't have ex-commissioners or
12:09 am
ex-staff on our team. we don't have that luxury like yerba buena can have that people that work for them. what i am happy is because some ground people came here to, i get confused with your oversight committee. i don't know what this is all about. i try to study and you have one agency watching over another agency. this thing with yoshi, i don't see anybody here that video taped from the beginning. washington was there from the beginning. i go back 20 years when jefferson created the jazz. let's go back 2 weeks ago where we couldn't get your
12:10 am
staff to come out because you had no money. i'm happy she's coming out this saturday. i hope that you come out and hear other than what you have heard from ace. i hear at yoshi's will be going bankrupt and you are going to transfer it to the city. it's all the same thing. it's the city. it might have different departments it's a city. that's a pity because you treat us like, let me say this ladies and gentlemen, i am sick and tired of being sick and tired of all these 20 years. i'm right in the motion of disrupting this whole ocean. mission bay, hunters point, all that, what they call it file an
12:11 am
injunction to stop everything. this is the beginning that you are going to come saturday to see all the millions that you invested from before you were even born has failed missably in the western district. you hear everything else. one thing is for sure, it ain't no mystery. all you have to do is check your history. now i'm happy that you are coming out. i believe she's worked with the feeling better. we'll see now what happens. >> okay. thank you very much. long range property management plan we have our meeting on november 19th to actually approve it. are there any questions either on the items we talked about today which are the ones to be determined draft plans or on
12:12 am
properties we talked about in our last workshop in september were there were more answers to what we're going to do? i'll start oh. just a quick comment. we've already heard about a couple of different issues to have properties that are being redeveloped to transfer those to the city that are to be jointly managed like mission bay parks. i'm hopefully unfortunately for us our property management plan didn't say a really miss no more we don't go through the whole plan only the transfer and we hope he think we know what
12:13 am
happens once we transfer ownership to sell the property but we don't know. particle around mission bay we don't know what the structure will be. i'm hopeful we'll look at the mirror gardens and take the best and put it to mission park. i don't want to belabor this among other issues the management particles that need to be managed together but we'll continue to work with the city on good models for that >> yeah. i want to have a question for you madam. what are we doing about this in the moscone center? i saw that adams house and the
12:14 am
commissioner, you know, i want to know what's happening. >> thank you, commissioner through the chair we take the concerns of our stakeholders with respect to the transfer and what's floeptd the future people's no. 1 once the city is the holder of those assets. we received a letter and it's in your packet. we the moscone expansion team is a partnership between the convention center and economic development and dwp i personally why'd requested a meeting with john ram the planning director and the expansion team approximately october 18th there were a number of reviews with an advisory committee in the community but because if so so
12:15 am
important to our current $0.63 assets and has a potential impact on our stakeholders whether it's the museums or the restaurants the active public is that a i wanted to personally understand where argue staff what's the proposal. there was an overview proposal presented some time ago as a result of the october 18th meeting we identified 4 areas of concern in essence whether the proposed expansion is it impacts landscaping and children space and restaurants space including the activity museum operation and management issues. those are the expansion team the cities expansion team and they're separate and a apart 3r9
12:16 am
expressed a willingness to work with us and the community to address those concerns. since that time those letters have appeared picture i think a more cooperated process is necessary. i have a pledge from the city actors they're going to put forth a plan not only to work with us but with the stakeholders who are impacted. it's on your calendar for december a proposal the expansion team we've asked the expansion team bring back their proposals to the commission we expect progress t-bone now and then we take those concerns seriously >> thank you. i guess that's a question on the
12:17 am
yerba buena proposal. i know we don't have a conclusion by the city as to who is the custodian. i guess we can recommend participate, influence n this decision we're not going to leave it to the city >> the public works m m report put forth a number of models and packets that are triumphed to the commission this model where the fee title is owned by the city but a third party essence is ground leased the fundamental principles of how the gardens were created creating this after much litigation and strive but
12:18 am
making sure we've got the tools to maintain that. and the commission and now the folks are the caregivers and making sure the growth principles to allow what was created through this participatory process continues. so certainly the commission can make recommendations in the whereass and to encourage, urge the city. the city has accepted and agreed to operate it as a single asset as it is today. the city has agreed and looking seriously to those models that were distributed the thofrt model or the kind of separate nonprofit model. and then as part of the capital approaches to making sure, you
12:19 am
know, those are aging assets and what are the sources available. there's an overlay to put those pieces on on top of the models. the city hadn't closed any doors there's an assessment process. the commission could weigh in >> when you say the city can you clarify the departments we're talking about. is that real estate >> it's you primarily through the city administrator and the cities department of real estate. under the chart properties go 90 under the charter to the jurisdiction of the city administrator >> so if we were interested in having a participanty conversation with the city would it be better for example, to go
12:20 am
to the invitation to the real estate department. >> absolutely. when i say the city - when talk - when it became clear the property management decision would be due the cities controller to the mayor's office of housing to budget, to rec and park it was determined among the city actors you need someone though run point and this was determined to the city administrator to be the clearing hours in any effect >> okay. thank you. >> director. >> could you give us american people update on this. can you regularly gives an yucht
12:21 am
parallel the community to keep us informed. it's important agriculture all the stakeholders and the community is addressed. i personally would love to get an update >> yes. absolutely we'll keep you updated. >> i have a quick question. we're rushing towards a date to approve something. can we talk about what the form of the final property management plan. i feel like the memo are discrepancies of that and what is the property management plan itself and how detailed is the strategy in terms of what persons or offices of the city are property is going to transfer to the processes
12:22 am
>> through the chair the actual form of the property management plan and the data that's prescribed there's some information that's required and that's what the real estate division is populating just some facts about the property the blocks and lots. and then we must designate of those 4 categories for deposition. we need to designate we don't need to designate a particular department, in fact, those are there other processes that the city would affirm that. even though we know the cities department of real estate owns that property that exists today in mission bay we must designate
12:23 am
one of the 4 and describe that. to give you a sense of 76 mission the property plan you approved in july and since been approved by the department of state the bones of it are there but there are works to populate the actual plan but the conclusion for the deposition it's been vetted through the community process and there's an ongoing work to make sure we address concerns and putting forth the strongest argument to the department of the city of finance >> i want to ask the question the 76 project we need to expensive the final sale so it is clear what the land use is and how much it is going on for.
12:24 am
i would say to the fellow commissioners and members of the public that i think that the directors answer lends to the optimism the property management is not the end of all it is saying what will happen and there's more to be talked about. who will manage it. so with that said i have one specific question and that's we can move on. so the shipyard with the community parcels there are 6 acres of community acres parcels of which most of it - all of it is unspigd at this point but it's going to be schools and
12:25 am
fires houses and police that sort of thing. less than an acre has been designated for other community fates and i believe the community benefits agreement allowed for a separate body basically, the group management legacy fund to determine what the land uses will be. so will that be part of the recycled land use that goes to the city i don't see that in the memo or your presentation >> if i - let me see if i can answer your question. the land uses are very broad that are outlined in the phase and a lot of the language has to do - i mean the board categories the education it can be a lot of
12:26 am
things but the main reminded those uses be selected in collaboration with the community. it didn't have to be the standard like schools and police but a senior center or a which will care center it's broad so we - i'm - we still have that obligation to work with the community to figure out what the uses are going to be and also assist with the financial obligation we still have that obligation but the ownership of the real estate wouldn't be with us and at least they're hoping very much we're going to be actively working on that because the city, you know, isn't as
12:27 am
familiar with obviously with the requirement that in the phase and they're looking to us to help figure out what the uses are going to be in the program >> okay i won't belabor this but i see some members from the cac out here so most of the facilities are not going to be defined by what they want by need. like a police station so it's the categories are broad it can't be any or none of all there are some things that need to be there and those parcels are designated spots but there's a small parcel i think it's a regularly triangle shaped parcel that was meant to be an open space for whatever the community
12:28 am
wanted and it's under the legacy fund board. so i don't want to belabor it if you don't have it right now we'll get back to it but it's the one thing i didn't see. i saw other things that are well-defined. thanks >> okay. anyone else? again, this is an item for a decision this is no action if there's any questions please ask staff so i appreciate all the pertinence and ma'am, secretary call the next item and the streetscape and this is to the candle light park and phase 2 of the shipping yard area for discussion
12:29 am
>> thank you madam secretary and for you who have joined us. it's an phenomenal workshop that is a series of important actions that start with the policy direction from this commission. in order to - we're happy to report construction has started on the shipyard but soon infrastructure construction will commence about in august of 2014 and vertical construction from the alice replacement project. so those are key actions pursuant to getting us to the finish line to the alice griffin retains that we want to get started sooner other than the
12:30 am
candle light side and i'd like to ask the senior director for candle stick point to present and a good afternoon, commissioners i will move through this quickly so have time for q and a. i wanted to the focus of today's workshop is the first major phase if the streetscape exempting site. as it turns out this is one of the most important it enables the alice 2k3wri69 site. in your packets you'll see a major phase that looks like this for the candle stick phase one and the streetscape
